I have motioneye running on a Rasp 3b+
I tried to run a Python script whenever a motion is detected.

/home/pi/motioneye-stuff/motion_info.py

This does not work.

Is this even possible with the "Run a Command" option?

You may have to prefix your path with
python, python2, or python3 depending on which version of python it was
written in.
Also, instead, you could edit the python script to add as line #1
#!/usr/bin/env python
and set the executable bit
sudo chmod +x /home/pi/motioneye-stuff/motion_info.py

You Sir solved my problem.
Make the Script executable and the correct prefix do the job.
python /home/pie/motioneye-stuff/motion_info.py

Thanks for your help
